I'm sure we will

Be sometime in September I would imagine , and yes you read correctly

Liking the way the Championship is shaping up . Impressed with the sides Sheffield and Ipswich are putting together , as well as ourselves . Going to be a cracking division next year I think

Brilliant night at Ibrox last night , what a personality Richie Worrall is , cracking sense of humour . Simon Stead played his part too in making it an entertaining evening . Welcome Jack Smith to the fold , looking forward to watching his progress next season as he dips his toes into Championship waters . Signed as a full asset too .

Who's all going to Ibrox tomorrow night then ? We'll find out number 4 rider then

No , but is Cook Bewley's babysitter ?

You have really no idea how popular Richie has become with the Glasgow support , as are the other two of the " top heavy trio " . Who's to say any of the remaining four unsigned as of yet riders wont prove successful back up .

There's a Wetherspoons type pub 10 minutes walk from the track , the Golf Inn , we were there before the meeting when Glasgow were down there last season

Glad to have Richie back , he was our best and most consistent rider last season . We might look a wee bit top heavy , but it's a potent top 3 in a weakened league . Whom ever we sign to back those three up , presumably Lunna and whover else fits , will have to improve . But that was the exact same scenario at the start of 2016 , and that side did fantastically well .

Agent Wolbert is looking for a new club ..............................nah don't be silly

Because unlike folk who have to be clued up , us mere mortals have a problem when reading the new rules . Our eyes glaze over half way down the page and we missed rule 347 , sub section 14 , paragraph 12 . Humble apologies from all of us who got it wrong about the four point foreigners

Mark Riss would come back on a 5 surely

That's the next stage of his apprenticeship though , he cant be protected at reserve for ever . Look at Paul Starke , kicked about as a three pointer for a couple of years , then his career started to make progress until last season he wasn't far off heat leader level . Who's to say young Liam can't make similar progress .

No matter what we do , you cant please everybody . We all have our favourite riders and who we would like to have , but that is seldom achievable . Both Aaron and Richard are club assets , so were always going to be the first two offered deals to come back . I have no issue with either of them returning , though as has been said previously , their consistency away from Ashfield has room for improvement . Lunna will also no doubt be next on the agenda , but with the league being watered down slightly , if we can capture the signing of Bewley I agree with a previous poster , we have to maximise that capture by starting him at reserve .

I'd be slightly worried if we started the season with Danny Ayres and a raw novice at reserve , and that looks how it will pan out if we re-sign Richie . However with the league watered down by a further two and a half points , most teams could also be very weak at reserve . I'm just miffed i'll not get my yearly Highbridge pub crawl next season

You would think so , wouldn't you

Buster Chapman more or less said that when he became El Presidente , but there are still parts that are as clear as mud

Suppose you have to try and emulate your peers where you can

Thought your lot didn't do stuff like that

Doesn't seem fair though . Riders who haven't proved good enough to attain a three point average become more attractive than a rider who averaged just above three ( who will probably not figure in the majority of promoter's plans ) or a young budding hopeful hoping for their first crack at the second tier . They are the ones who should be given the two point averages , just like Jason Crump all those years ago

I was only going by the averages someone had posted on another thread . Pumping the Monarchs last month could turn out to be a bit of a pain in the ass for our team building plans

Don't think any of them are unpopular And if Andy Smith's son comes in on a 2 , then him Bewley and Lunna would be less than 11 , giving us room for Garcia maybe

At our dinner/dance last week , when Rene Bach was interviewed and asked about his plans for 2017 he said " if he did start the season in Britain his choice of club would be either Glasgow or Newcastle ". Having , what appears to be , made his goodbye to Glasgow statement on Faceache this afternoon , it would appear he must be strongly in the running to return to Tyneside next season .

Yes I remember putting a number 8 out against a t/r in a meeting against us

Passion , the ability to gee riders up who are having an off night , the tactical awareness to maximise the use of gate positions , t/r's etc .
